Last week Jason and I took a little road trip down to LA to witness Marlie’s graduation from kindergarten and Estee’s “step up” to the 1st grade.  Both super cute!  I’m so glad we made the drive down.

Those girls are seriously adorable.  There’s something really validating when their mom asks them who they want to read to them and they say May-may!  Although I think they’re growing out of the May-may phase because they’re really just calling me Mary now.  Shame.  Reading in bed with the lights out:

While we were there (and while the girls were in school) Jason and I did a little day trip to LACMA to see the Tim Burton exhibit (which was great–but no photography allowed).  I love taking pictures at museums, especially modern art.

I actually have a ton more on my Flickr account.  Those were my favorites.  Anyway, we had a lovely time at the step up/graduation ceremonies, and a nice time at dinner.  The girls were very excited to have us all there to celebrate their accomplishments.

On Thursday we took a slight detour and Jodi, Stephanie, Jason and I drove down to San Diego to see Papa Leland.  We flew back the next day and were T-I-R-E-D.  A great weekend overall–I’m glad we were there.
